Playing with play dough is something we do every week and sometimes even every day at our house. So I am always looking for another recipe or idea to spice up our play dough play. Here is some play dough inspiration from lots of other great sites and blogs that I can't wait to try out (and just a few that we have already tried and I can't wait to do again):

Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and vegetable oil in a pot. Add the food coloring to the water (or to make multiple colors knead the food coloring into the dough when it is finished cooking) and stir the mixture over medium-high heat. After a few minutes of stirring the dough will begin to form a ball, at which point you can remove it from the heat. Let the dough cool a few minutes and knead it for a smooth consistency.
